Mayor Sadiq Khan meets with Punjab government officials upon his arrival in Lahore.─DawnNews

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan arrived in Lahore on Wednesday via the Wagah Border.

The mayor was received by officials from the Punjab government upon his arrival and is currently holding a meeting with Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif in Model Town.

During his time in Pakistan, Khan will also visit Islamabad and Karachi. Khan has said that his trip seeks to "strengthen the links that exist between London and these great cities of Pakistan".

"I see my visit as an exciting opportunity to build on the ties that bind our cities and countries together for the mutual benefit of everyone — Brits and Pakistanis, Londoners and Lahoris, EastEnders and Karachiites alike," Khan wrote in Dawn on Wednesday.

I hope to see Sadiq Khan as a prime minister one day as his message of hope and unity rings bells across the world.

Sadiq Khan is an inspirational personality at a time when the world is suffering at the hands of disappointing politicians like Trump and others. We welcome Mr Khan warmly to Pakistan.

Subcontinent people are emotional lot. They fail to adapt to their home country and start exploring their roots. This affects their credibility. Tax payers money that he is spending for the reasons mentioned doesn’t make much sense. He should avoid these in future.

Pakistan warmly welcomes Mr. Khan, the elected Mayor of London who should meet with ordinary citizens, civic and business organizations instead

Mr.Khan is here for bringing business to London; Shahbaz thinks he is bringing business to Pakistan!
